OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Welcome Tchon6891! I live in the Coldwater area and my son has been in since 2007. He entered a month after his 21st birthday. He is a Seabee' part of the construction battalion of the Navy. He is currently stationed in Germany.

tchon6891, welcome to the group. My son has been in since Aug 2012. He was 21 when he signed on. He went and got his associates before signing to have some college. I am from the east side area (Sterling Heights). Where are you located?

Comment by tchon6891 on October 28, 2014 at 12:02pm

Hello, I am new to this group. My son has been in the Navy since dec of 2012, right after high school. It would be nice to meet/chat with others from Michigan who are also a part of the Navy family.

Comment by Lorraine on October 27, 2014 at 12:58pm

Jaz, thanks for the update. Wow, a grandma times three! I hope you enjoy your time with your grands while the DIL is with you. Congrats to your son for re-enlisting and good luck to him. I'm not sure what an AME is. Can you explain?

karent, I don't care much for flying either but I would like to see Hawaii. Maybe someday...I hope your son gets a stateside assignment.

Scott is still doing well and still off work for awhile. Keep him in your prayers that he will pass the fitness for duty test when that time comes. He wants to stay in.

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on October 24, 2014 at 1:12pm

Jaz04 - Thanks for the update.  Glad to hear that things are improving and progressing along for your son.

Comment by Jaz04 on October 24, 2014 at 8:33am

Hi Michigan moms.  I know I haven't been here in a long time,  but have been following.  It has been a tough couple of years with my son gone,  him getting married,  his wife causing family drama.  But all is mending now.  My son has completed 4 out of his 5 years as a Seabee and has re-enlisted after cross rating to an AME. A whole new world for the whole family.  DIL and 2 grandchildren will stay with us while son does A school. Her stay may end up being 6 months as she,  at this time, doesn't want to have to find a 3rd ob as she is due again at the end of April. I will just be happy to have my son home for Thanksgiving as it has been 4 years since that has happened. 

Lorraine,  I am glad to hear Scott is doing so well. 

Welcome to all the new moms. 

Comment by karent0801 on October 21, 2014 at 1:36pm

Lorraine, I know it sounds crazy, but I really don't want to go to Hawaii.  The only way I'd do it is to fly to CA stay overnight or another day and then fly to Hawaii.  I don't like flying that much!  I'm hoping for a west coast assignment for him - that I'd like to do:  Seattle or CA......ah the dreams!

Hope Scott is continuing to do well and feel stronger every day!!!
